Moving into a New Year brings opportunity and a moment to pause and set an intention for the path you will take. In yoga we call setting an intention a Sankalpa. A sankalpa practice starts from the radical premise that you already are who you need to be to fulfill your life’s dharma. All you need to do is focus your mind, connect to your most heartfelt desires, and channel the energy within. Setting specific intentions can help you align your moment-to-moment choices with yo...ur heartfelt desire.
During this practice there will be times of silence, a mellow asana practice, yoga Nidra and finishing up with cacao ‘the chocolate of dreaming’. We encourage you to bring a journal to record your intention.
Susan and Emma are coming to together to co-create and lead this practice as 2018 comes to end and we look to 2019.

Twists are an integral part of our yoga practice. They carry many physical benefits releasing tension in the muscles of the abdomen. Twists at the end of a practice help release any kinks in the body. Twists however also do something powerful to our perspective as we physically see our world at a new angle, even the subtle change from one side to the other changes our point of view. Sometimes it so easy to get stuck in how we view what is in front of us and maybe if we shift our perspective we can release the inner tension that so often we feel in the pit of our stomach.

A reminder to all you YQ yogis that there no mid-morning classes today, 10.30am Thursday and Friday. 10am We have Birthlight at the studio delivering a training. Early morning. All other classes running as usual. Have a great day

We are so pleased to be able to support the lovely Aoife O'Dalaigh in hosting her fundraising event Saturday 15th December 2-4pm. As you may know Aoife was recently on a yoga retreat in India and as part of her visit she went to the Ramana's Garden Children's Home . It had a great impact on her and that motivated her to do this fundraiser. India is the home of our yoga heritage and so we are really happy to support Aoife in this If you are about Ballyhackamore Saturday 15th D...ecember why not pop in? . Saturday 15th December 2-4pm

Emma continues her beautiful series of Yoga Nidra practices with this pre-Christmas offering. East meets West with this delicious offering of Yoga Nidra from India & ceremonial grade Cacao from the Americas to find true inner peace & harmony this Winter In the midst of all the ‘craic' at this busy, often stressful & sometimes lonely time of year, Emma is offering a Yoga Nidra practice geared towards inner Peace and Goodwill to Yourself, so that you don’t ‘crack’ up over the ...holidays.
Yoga Nidra, denotes the the sleep of the Yogi & is an ancient practice, blended with modern neuroscience to serve as both a form of total relaxation & a mind-body therapy that is accessible to EVERY BODY (-whether you have a yoga & meditation practice or are a complete beginner!).
Alongside of the Yoga Nidra there will be a sharing of cacao
Cacao originating from North & South America has been used for eons as a heart opening medicine by the ancient Mayans & Aztecs. The seed from the cacao plant is the active ingredient used in chocolate, cocoa, nibs etc & has always been considered a rich and potent symbol of love. Today it is considered a super food due to its high antioxidant properties and levels of iron & magnesium. Cacao is also a notable source of flavovoids which help the cardiovascular system and theobromine - a bitter alkaloid which boosts mood & energy.
Because of the preparation of the cacao booking is essential

Savasana that pose where we totally relax at the end of our practice can be the most difficult for many of us. The body is scanned for tension of any kind and released with intention when found. To move deeper into your relaxation we have a number of props to support and nurture your savasans practice. Eye pillows arrived into the studio over the weekend. Not only do they block out light but they also help you find inner stillness.

It's so easy to get carried away with the desire to buy more stuff. Black Friday with all its promises of not-to-be-missed bargains feeds into that and yet isn't it so that most of the time all we need to bring us joy is to rest and draw close to those we love?

There’s a cold bite in the air and we YQ yogis love to wrap up warm. This is the last of our YQ hats and we desperately need some YQ knitters for hats, cuffs and cozy socks pm us if you’re interested .

This is David. He teaches the men's only class at YQ on a Wednesday night at 8.15pm. This class is suitable for beginners and improvers. It's got a really chilled vibe and David brings a lovely no fuss approach to his class.

We are happy to be able to play a small part in supporting Ballyhack&More in their Christnas appeal. We are one of the collection points for you, our YQ yogi community to bring new toys that will be distributed to families in need across East Belfast. Toys can be dropped off in reception when the studio is open during class time only. Let's do this YQers

just did my first beginners class tonight with oonagh. absolutely loved it, she was extremely professional and welcoming. can't wait to go back

Yoga quarter and its team are both beautiful & inspiring ! Starting to get the yoga bug merci ����

What a stunning studio,fab teachers and of course awesome yoga classes!!��

Thankyou Susan for such a special and beautiful practice this evening. The new studio is gorgeous and a perfect haven for all of us busy humans. I can’t wait to try more classes! Thanks so much �

Thank you so much Susan for such a lovely yoga class this evening �I can honestly say that was my favourite ever experience of a yoga class and I have been to many different types of yoga classes in both Belfast & London! It is such a beautiful, peaceful & welcoming space with a beautiful smell and smiling faces �I can't wait to try more classes �

Just tried Aoife’s lunchtime yoga shred class today and it was awesome ����

Just did my first beginners class with Oonagh! Really enjoyable, very relaxing and Oonagh was great at calmly taking you through all the movements. Gorgeous studio also! A great addition to Ballyhack.

I’ve been coming to classes here for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it. Lots of options to fit classes in with my work schedule. I’ve mostly been to Aoife’s classes and find her to be an excellent teacher. Aoife is great at giving encouragement and guidance for the different postures and helping you to improve your practice. The studio itself is a peaceful, friendly and safe environment. It’s a great way to unwind and improve your health and well-being. I always leave classes feeling both relaxed and energised.

I've been attending Yoga Quarter at Ballhackamore for over two months now. This place is friendly and warm. It is made by the people. As it has kinda happened I've found myself attending some beginners classes, some Wednesday night 'Vinyasa' and a very functional class on Sunday mornings. My main teachers have been Aoife and Heather who are both first class, happy and functional. My 11 yr old daughter has also been attending once a week at 'Teen yoga' I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Joe and Susan who have gone out of their way to make Eva feel so terribly welcome. If I had to point out a highlight it would be 'Yin yoga' I won't say any more, however, if you haven't tried Yoga Qtr's Yin then you'll have something missing in your life!



I rate Yoga Quarter *****
